LECTOTYPE (here designated). — China. Yunnan, sur les pentes rocailleuses de Long-tech-chan, au-dessus de Hee-gni-tang, J.M. Delavay 4720 (lecto-, P[P00602842]!; isolecto-, P[P00602843, P00602844, P00602845, P00602846]!).

REMARKS

Franchet (1888) cited one collection: “ Delavay 4720 ” as the type in the protologue. According toStafleu & Cowan (1976), Franchet worked at P and Delavay’s specimens were deposited in K and P. We located five original duplicate specimens of “ Delavay 4720 ”, deposited in P (syntypes) (Arts 9.6, and 40 Note 1 of ICN, Turland et al. 2018). After careful examination of five sheets, which have been deposited in P, it is necessary to select one of them as the lectotype in accordance with Art. 9.12 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018). We designate here the blooming specimen “ Delavay 4720 ” in P (P00602842) as the lectotype. The selected sheet is morphological complete and presence of stem, leaves, and flower that fully agree with the protologue.
